It's been six hours since I hid in this cave and recuperated and I'm now planning to continue my journey to the Goliath.

'Mavis, how long has it been since I came into the dungeon?'

Mavis: 'Mhm~ Approximately twelve hours.'

I nodded, \Plk\ the sound of my bone popping sounded as I stretched my body.

Readying myself I put both of my hands on the boulder as I pushed it away from the hole.

\Blgh\

Successfully pushing the boulder away, I saw a war shadow in front of me but before it could even plunge its claws at me I already stabbed him turning him to dust as •Precious Pond• collected the magic stone and the drop.

There are plenty of monsters now as I killed my way, needle rabbits also showed up and there are about thirty of them but it was no problem as their attack pattern is just leaping up and using the horn on their heads and plunging it at you.

For others, it might be hard to see them and stab them as they're agile, but I've just fought two hundred monsters while evading and still doing offense at the same time so my reaction time has become sharper, I actually thought I'll gain a skill or a development ability about it but seems not.

I saw the hallway heading to the eighth floor getting there and descending to the eighth floor.

If the rooms on the first to the seventh floor have three meters of height then the eighth floor has ten meters of height, the size of rooms also increased thrice that of the first to the seventh floor, and the length of the hallways between them also became shorter.

The eighth to ninth floors have the same monsters as the first to the seventh floor but stronger, due to this It's recommended for Level 1 adventurers to have a status of at least E in their basic abilities to explore these floors.

This floor is the floor where ill use one of the blood beads to update since my status is just all G, but before that let's be weak first to trigger [Challenger].

Leaping up and grabbing the protruded rock tight I scouted the area with my heightened vision.

Groups of needle rabbits and kobolds are on the other side, while on the other side are killer ants and war shadows. There are maybe other monsters but they're not my concern as they're too far away from me.

Heading to the killer ants and war shadows I took my rapier out of its scabbard as I readied myself for a gruesome fight.

A killer ant appeared before me but I sidestepped and stab the side of his neck and I didn't stop my rapier as I slash clockwise cutting a war shadow's neck in half.

Leaping up and spinning in the air, my blades slashed the bodies of upcoming killer ants as they were called by their late friend's pheromones. Killing the upcoming killer ants as they omit pheromones calling for other killer ants but none answered as either they're killed or are too far away.

A war shadow suddenly appeared in front of me as I ducked at its upcoming claws, I slashed in a circle cutting its feet and even involving the other two sneaky war shadows behind me as they all fell without their feet, stabbing them at their chest in a second; they turned into dust.

Dashing to the other group where the needle rabbits and kobolds were, I stabbed my rapier in the air where the dungeon lizards' feet bled but before I can leap and finish him off two kobolds appeared before me and tried to kick me.

I sidestepped from the other one's kick but the other landed straight at my side.

'Geez, Why's everyone so obsessed at my sides!' -- I puke blood as I back away.

Two kobolds and dungeon lizards are before me, looking intently at them; I duck as a frog shooter's tongue brush past my head. (If I was late by just a second my head would have been gone already!) Grabbing the tongue I pulled it as I threw it at the kobolds. The tongue was sticky so I had to cut it where I touch it as I leaped up dashing at the dungeon lizard when I saw that the kobolds turned to dust.

The dungeon lizard tried to kick me with the disc that was attached to its feet but I jumped down below him stepping at the frog shooter's head as I bounce towards the dungeon lizard's backstabbing my rapier at its neck as he turned to dust.

I grabbed a protrusion from the ceiling as I observed the frog shooter, frog shooters have a limited view because of their eye and body size hence they can't see what's above them as much making it their blindside.

Jumping down, I held my rapier in both hands while doing a paladin stance as my rapier plunged into the frog shooter's head penetrating until to its chin \Tchk\ as it turned to dust leaving a magic stone and its tongue behind.

Drinking a potion; as that kobold's kick surely ruined my intestines, I leaped up and held onto a protrusion from the ceiling: 'I shall find the next group of monsters that I will end.'
